Progress on my first Long Dog cross stitch: A frog, a squirrel (?), a rabbit and a bird wearing a hat taking a poop?

I'm 4,530 stitches in, which is 8% done apparently. See you in ten years when it's done.

Haha I wish! So my friend owns the shop, Jaded Gem Shop, she works with artists to turn their work into diamond paintings. ❤️❤️❤️ Lots of people also use cross stitch patterns to turn them into diamond paintings too!

I feel like it wouldn't be difficult if you have a sewing machine. You should totally try! <3

Witchy Stitcher but not cross stitch... Diamond painting!

Bev Bee @bevbeecrafts.bsky.social · 3d

OMG I love this so much

Your grime guard is so pretty!!

That looks cute! What about trying less strands for the next one and leaving a 1 square border around it? I think they sell black plastic canvas?

Cross stitch like others have said! But also, if you're a fan of Taylor Swift maybe diamond painting lol www.jadedgemshop.com/products/end...

I finished another cross stitch that sat as a WIP (work in progress) for probably a year now!

❤️ Cross Stitch Pattern: Tokyo Tower by Needleminder Lair on Etsy
❤️ 2 strands on 14 count white Aida

I don't know what I'll cross stitch next but I'm due for something less colorful.

Okey! This cross stitch is done! I LOVE sunflowers, so this was really cute to work on, and the farm reminds me of driving to visit my partner.

Bev Bee @bevbeecrafts.bsky.social · Sep 11

Thank youuu!

I'm *almost* done with this Mill Hill Button & Beads cross stitch kit! Just some beading and back stitching left.

Okay, my one tip (that I got from a pal on Instagram), if you want to cross stitch with Kreinik, is to use short strands. Or else you will hate it.

Bev Bee @bevbeecrafts.bsky.social · Aug 26

Yess! The lady at the store said to try to use thread conditioner, and another on Instagram said to keep the floss short. I'm hoping these tips work out, I'll let you know!

Bev Bee @bevbeecrafts.bsky.social · Aug 26

This will be my first time cross stitching with Krenik. Kinda nervous.

Bev Bee @bevbeecrafts.bsky.social · Aug 26

I love that so much! I have a Long Dog on my to-do list, but seeing this makes me want to start it today haha

Bev Bee @bevbeecrafts.bsky.social · Aug 21

Finished! The last photo is of only the cross stitching so you can see the difference of what the backstitching and beads do to the finished piece.

If you like cross stitch I recommend Mill Hill Buttons & Beads kits, they have so many different designs (I'm a big fan of their fall/Halloween ones)!

Bev Bee @bevbeecrafts.bsky.social · Aug 17

Another update on my latest cross stitch project. ❤️ Almmmoosst done the stitching then beading next! Maybe I'll be able to finish it by the end of the weekend? Maybe.

Bev Bee @bevbeecrafts.bsky.social · Aug 14

You're right the one on the right will help the colors pop more, especially the bottom two colors... BUT I really like the left fabric a lot too. Life is so hard hahahaha

Bev Bee @bevbeecrafts.bsky.social · Aug 12

Thank you so much! I think my phone went a little overboard with the saturation, it's less bright in person

Bev Bee @bevbeecrafts.bsky.social · Aug 12

Just a little highland cow cross stitch update!

Bev Bee @bevbeecrafts.bsky.social · Aug 8

Working on this cute highland cow cross stitch kit. I think I'm back to being obsessed with the Mill Hill Buttons & Beads kits!!! They're quick projects and the beads are fun to do!

Bev Bee @bevbeecrafts.bsky.social · Aug 8

The front case came torn, though, which isn't impressive, however, I don't think I'll be keeping the case anyway.. BUT STILL, it shouldn't have arrived with a tear in it!

Bev Bee @bevbeecrafts.bsky.social · Aug 8

I got my own little mini mahjong set! I'm excited, need more Edmonton women to play with!!
